Especially on very strong xwinds (30+) I tend to align with the runway only by 50%. For example, Ig my crab is 20 degrees, I touch down with 10 degrees. It makes the whole maneuver a little bit more comfortable. Kicking off 20+degrees at the last 20 feet causes quite a bit of roll. Touching down with 10 degrees crab is perfectly OK.
